The Loki installation script fails when I run it.


The error message usually looks something like this: $ sh install-crossover-pro-7.0.0.sh Verifying archive integrity...Error in check sums 2527639012 444965528

This indicates that the installer was corrupted. This is known to happen if you use the ftp download link in Netscape 4.x because Netscape performs CR/LF conversions in that case. The remedy is to download the file again using either the http link or a different browser.

You may also get an error like this: $ sh install-crossover-pro-7.0.0.sh Verifying archive integrity...OK Uncompressing CrossOver Office...................tar: lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: Wrote only 5120 of 10240 bytes tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Extraction failed.

When installing, CrossOver setup first extracts itself to /tmp. If you get the above error message, there is insufficient space on the partition contain /tmp.

You can use the df command to display the amount of free space on each of your harddisk partitions: $ df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda6 2063504 1638816 319868 84% / /dev/hda7 14017840 6120332 7185432 46% /home /dev/hda1 4096548 3267460 829088 80% /dos

Note that the /tmp directory is usually located on the root (/) partition (as in the above example), though there may be space elsewhere on your harddrive, the "Available" size for the root partition is what is important.

You can also tell the installer to extract its temporary files to a different directory by running it as followings: sh install-crossover-pro-7.0.0.sh --target cxtemp
